Jones's British Theatre V6

More about the book

This collection features four late 18th-century plays that reflect the era's social and cultural norms. "The Man of the World" explores manipulation through the cynical Sir Pertinax Macsycophant, while "The True Born Irishman" satirizes Irish stereotypes. "Love a la Mode" presents a comedic struggle for love against parental opposition, and "The Governess" delves into the complexities of a woman's role within a wealthy family. Edited by William Jones, this facsimile reprint aims to preserve these significant works for modern audiences.
